"And God spake
onto Noah, saying, Go forth of the ark, thou and thy wife, and thy
sons' wives with thee. Bring forth with thee every living thing that
is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every
living thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly
in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth."
(Genesis 8:15-17)

"A thing is right
when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability, and beauty of
the biotic community."Aldo Leopold, "The Land Ethic", in A Sand County
Almanac (1949)

"And God blessed Noah and his sons,
and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast
of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth
upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand
they are delivered. Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for
you; even as the green herb have I given you all things."(Genesis 9:1-3)
